Chapter 329 Going Modern

"Yes!" Riven nodded seriously.

This female soldier, who had no education and did not like to read books, still picked up a pen and paper in a dignified manner at this time, and started to take notes on her work.

It's not her kind of performance either.

In fact, after becoming the president of the leader's branch, Riven, who felt deeply responsible, unconsciously developed the habit of taking work notes.

She wrote down her work experience, problems she encountered, and corresponding thoughts on it, waiting to find answers from wise men who could point her in the right direction.

And Li Wei, who came to Wuji Village now, is obviously the mentor that Riwen is waiting for.

"Without investigation, there is no right to speak." Li Wei also said at this time: "I have never been to Ionia before. But fortunately, Comrade Riven has taken down a lot of work notes these days, so that I can understand Io have a better understanding of the real situation in Nigeria."

"There are a lot of her interview records and investigation results on the situation in rural Ionia on it, which is of great help to me."

"And I have some ideas about how Ionia will change in the future and what it will look like."

Li Wei said in a very cautious tone.

"Oh?" The leaders immediately perked up and looked over seriously.

They are all waiting for Levi's answer.

Just listen to Li Wei's conclusion: "The main contradiction in Ionia is the contradiction between the growing population and the limited natural resources under the law of equilibrium."

"In order to alleviate this ineradicable contradiction, the method Ionia adopted in the past was to 'excommunicate' some people, allowing the poor and untouchables to occupy as little land as possible, consume less resources, and deprive them of marriage and childbirth in disguise. power to maintain the overall balance between man and nature.”

Now that the leader is here, of course we can no longer do this.

What should I do?

What can be done to maintain the balance without sacrificing the poor and make life better for Ionians?
"In this regard, we can learn from the successful experience of Wuji Village." Li Wei said.

Riven's investigation in Wuji Village is very instructive for solving the problem of untouchables in Ionia.

The core of the so-called "Wuji Experience" can be summed up in two sentences:

Let those who have more children not earn;

It is not a loss to have fewer children.

Achieving the latter requires the establishment of a fair social order.

Leaders only need to provide a fair social order for all Ionians, just like the Wuji masters in Wuji Village, so that even if everyone has fewer children, they will not face being eaten up, bullied, old and homeless, etc. question
Those Ionian people who believed in the way of balance would naturally take the initiative to restrict fertility and control population, so as to maintain the balance between man and nature.

"But." Riven looked over, still puzzled.

Because Li Wei only talked about how to make "fewer births no loss", but did not say how to make "more births no profit".

However, Wuji Village is able to allow people to "live more lives without earning money", and then reduce the villagers' enthusiasm for childbearing, all because of its extremely special, isolated, closed social background of a small country with few people——

In this closed mountainous area where the land carrying capacity is already saturated, even if you have more children, the children will not be able to find a job or cultivate more land.Therefore, if you have more children, you can only lose money and cannot bring any benefits to the family.

You can look at the whole of Ionia outside of Wuji Village
The outside world still has such a vast land, such a vast market, and countless jobs. As a result, it seems that having more children is still a matter that can generate income for the family.

"The experience of Wuji Village in this area." Riven hesitated to make an opinion: "Shouldn't it be copied to the whole of Ionia?"

"That's right!" Li Wei glanced at Riven approvingly.

Leaders in this world do not have the problem of purity, but they still cannot avoid the problem of doing bad things with good intentions.A driver who serves passengers wholeheartedly is not necessarily a driver who can drive well and stably.

So Li Wei's biggest worry was never that everyone fell behind, but that everyone rushed too fast.

Riven can not be dazzled by ideals and enthusiasm, adhere to the principle of proceeding from reality and analyze specific issues, rationally analyze the difference between the social backgrounds of Wuji Village and the whole of Ionia, and treat problems carefully and seriously.
This is exactly what Li Wei wants to see, the kind of leader cadre with a firm belief and a clear mind.

"Of course Ionia cannot copy the experience of Wuji Village and build the entire continent into a primitive village isolated from the world."

"So, I think that Ionia should learn more from our experience in Zaun."

As mentioned earlier, in an industrialized society, the surplus value of a labor force is taken away by the Ziben family, but the cost of cultivating the labor force needs to be borne by the parents.

Therefore, both Zaun and Piltover in the past have successfully realized "letting more lives not earn".

What about Zaun, now under the leader's rule?
"Actually, there is no essential difference." Li Wei said frankly.

Some passionate young people always regard the current Zaun as the holy land of the Lord of Ganna, and even advocate that the Lord of Ganna has been successfully built in Zaun.

But Li Wei himself clearly stated in the article that the current Zaun is just an enhanced version of Piltover.

Exploitation in theory will not disappear from Zaun until a truly unified society is realized.

In the past, the labor surplus of the people of Za'an was taken away by the Ziben family.

Now the Ziben family is weak, but a large part of the labor surplus of the Zaan people still has to be handed over to the collective.

It’s just that compared with Ziben’s, the leader takes less and gives back more, which reduces the huge loss caused by Ziben’s role as a middleman, and relatively speaking, divides the cake more fairly.

In short
In industrialized societies and agricultural societies, the economic model in which the family is the unit of production, and the near-absolute personal attachment between children and their parents, have been completely broken.

In any case, the surplus value of a labor force will no longer belong to parents and families like in agricultural society.

In human terms, it is:

Part of the value you create goes to the boss, part of it is paid in taxes, and only part of it is left to your family.

And it is impossible for your parents to force you to hand over all your wages like the feudal patriarchs.

The little alimony they can "forcibly" take away from you through the law may not be worth the time and education costs they spent raising you.

Not to mention earning money after having children, it is considered good to be able to maintain a balance of income and expenditure.

So people will spontaneously pursue eugenics instead of multiple births.

In this regard, even if the leader comes, it will only be improved, but not fundamentally changed.

Because it is still far away from a Datong society where distribution is based on needs, the leaders only changed the proportion of the cake, but did not fundamentally change the way and principle of the cake.

"What can be done to maintain balance without sacrificing the poor and make life better for Ionians?"

Levi returned to the question itself again.

And after the analysis just now, this question can already be answered——

"Leader regime plus industrialized society is the answer!"

This is also a standard answer.

This answer seems to apply no matter where it is placed.

"But." Riven sensed something was wrong again: "Industrialization doesn't seem to work in Ionia, does it?"

She had seen what Zaun looked like.

The smog covered the sun all day long, the waste water was discharged into the sea, the land was barren, and the fish and shrimp died.
Industrial society's demand for natural resources and damage to the environment are absolutely incomparable to agricultural society.

In Ionia, everything has animism, and every plant and tree is a life with a soul.

If the leader builds factories, mines, and discharges sewage and waste gas in Ionia, and turns the Presidium into London in the 19th century, and the Yipu River into the Ganges in the 21st century, it will be the first for industrial development. bitter nature
The balance between the material realm and the spiritual realm would be completely broken, and the nascent soil would become overgrown with evil spirits.

In the end, it is human beings who are unlucky.

"That's right." Li Wei was even happier when he was repeatedly pointed out, "Comrade Riwen, you are right."

"Ionia has its own national conditions here, and it is impossible for it to achieve a high degree of industrialization like Zaun."

"Then what should we do?" Riven murmured in confusion.

The development of industry will destroy the balance.

Without industrialization, the Ionians would have to continue farming.

"Then farm the land." Li Wei said: "The inability to be highly industrialized does not mean that you cannot enter an industrialized society, or that"

After thinking about it, he replaced "industrialized society" with a more appropriate term:

"Modern society."

What the leader wants to help Ionia enter is the modern society.

"Let me make an analogy"

"Bilgewater has now been transformed by leaders, and has completely transformed from a pirate lair to an ocean-going fishing port mainly engaged in seafood and meat production."

"The output value of the city's fishery and service industries account for a high proportion, while the proportion of industrial output value is relatively small."

Bilgewater also has shipyards and weapons factories, but their size is not large compared to the overall economic size.

Even in the era when the pirate economy was flourishing, the foundation of the city's prosperity was still the 200,000 fishermen and fishermen.The majority of the city's population has never been pirates who kill and rob, but hard-working fishermen.

"If Ionia is farming, then Bilgewater is fishing. Both are primary industries, there is not much difference."

"But can you say that Bilgewater is not a modern society now?"

Li Wei asked Riven in a thought-provoking tone:
"What is the difference between it and Ionia today?"

　The second is later._(:з」∠)_
